Greek Yogurt weird question



Recommended Posts

I have this weird texture issue thing where I can't even look at the Water that forms at the top of sour cream (gagging just thinking about it).

The Greek yogurts I have bought have all had this same water substance on top. Does anyone know of a brand that doesn't separate like this?

I have used multiple brands and they all separate. I'm with Chelenka, if you find a brand that doesn't separate I wouldn't want to eat it ;)

I agree with what everyone else has said - it's supposed to separate like that :)

I love my Dannon Greek Yogurt.....I live on the vanilla fat free with only 80 calories per container. I put a cup of fruit, usually blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries with a little granola (about a 1/4 cup) and it is a great Breakfast or snack for around 250 calories. It's awesome

I'm with you on the liquid being gross. I have started shaking my little yogurt cup before I open it, problem solved. :)

I tried this because of the lower calories and I think it is absolutely gross. I tried the strawberry cheesecake one and it had no flavor a tasted like artificial sweetener. My dog wouldn't even eat it lol. Zoi is my all time favorite but I do like chobani as well.

If the yogurt even starts to get warm it separates even more. I bring one to work in my lunch pak and this doesnt keep it cold enough and it separates like crazy. So now I put it in the fridge at work. Also 10-15 min in the freezer will tighten it all back up again so you dont see the separation and it's nice and chilled :)

I do like Fage a lot - it does separate but it has a texture and flavor similar to sour cream.

It doesn't bother me, I just stir it back in. But if it did, I'd have a hard time eating it.

I've started adding a couple teaspoons of Peanut Butter, equal, and a little sugar free Torani caramel Syrup to my Fage 0%, and I LOVE it!

I get grossed out by the liquid too. I eat it anyway.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
